So as far as I can tell, the Springfield M1A, in its basic form, is not considered an "assault weapon" by the new NY SAFE Act, as it has only a detachable magazine, but otherwise, no pistol grip, no folding or telescoping stock, no flash suppressor, no bayonet lug, etc...however on the website, it says it comes with a ten round magazine. These are now illegal in NY state (well after I think April 14th they become illegal). Thing is, am I thus unable to purchase this rifle now, or could I ask the company to send it with a five round magazine instead (I'd imagine they have five rounder mags, I doubt they'd have seven)?
